The invention relates to a single or multi-bladed countersink.

The structure and operation of a countersink are basically known to those skilled in the art, e.g. known from DIN 335: 2007-12. Countersinks regularly have a clamping shaft and a cutting head carried by the clamping shaft with a conical cutting tip, in which one or more main cutting edges lie on a virtual conical surface with the axis of rotation of the countersink as a cone axis. The taper or tip angle of the cutting head is usually 90 ° (e.g., for countersunk screws). In addition, countersinks are known with 60 ° point angle (for deburring), 75 ° point angle (for Nietkopfsenkungen), 120 ° point angle (for Blechnietsenkungen) or the like.

In order to achieve a high level of smoothness in the countersinking, several main cutting edges with unequal angular pitch can be arranged around the axis of rotation. For example, from WO 2015/075127 A1 a three-edged countersink is known, in which the main cutting edges are arranged in the direction of rotation of the countersink with unequal pitch. Due to the defined imbalance, a reduction of the vibrations and thereby an improvement in the surface quality of the reduction is to be achieved. DE 10 2005 055 579 A1 likewise proposes a three-edged countersink, in which, in order to improve the cutting and running properties, an open surface adjoining a main cutting edge in the direction of rotation should be radially and axially back-ground.

What is common to the known countersinks is that each of the main cutting edges located in a virtual conical surface extends in a straight line from its central cutting corner to its outer peripheral cutting corner.

Starting from the known countersinks, the invention is based on the object, a single or multi-bladed countersink with an alternative To create a main cutting geometry, with which a smooth running and tool life is obtained during the countersinking.

This object is achieved by a countersink with the features of claim 1. Advantageous developments are the subject of dependent claims.

A countersink according to the invention can have a clamping shank and a cutting head, analogously to the known countersinking tools discussed in the introduction or according to DIN 335: 2007-12. The cutting head of the countersink according to the invention can be designed with one or more cutting edges. Each main cutting edge lies in a virtual conical surface with the axis of rotation of the countersink as a cone axis. The opening or cone angle may e.g. at 60 °, 75 °, 90 °, 120 °, etc. lie. Furthermore, the cutting head and clamping shaft can be made of one piece of material, e.g. made of HSS steel.

A countersink according to the invention differs from the known countersinks in that it has at least one main cutting edge which is not straight in the virtual conical surface from its central cutting corner (beginning) to its outer peripheral cutting corner (end) but curved, in particular spiral-shaped, runs. The at least one main cutting edge therefore winds around the axis of rotation or, in other words, has a twist around the axis of rotation.

Due to the arch shape, the at least one main cutting edge has a larger cutting edge length than a rectilinear main cutting edge. The cutting force acting on the main cutting edge during the countersinking process is therefore distributed over a larger engagement length, which results in a higher stability, a smoother running or a smaller ratchet tendency and a lower cutting wear.

The at least one main cutting edge can in principle have a twist counter to or in the direction of rotation of the countersink. By a twist in the direction of rotation (right-handed twist in the direction of rotation to the right or left-handed twist in the direction of rotation to the left) is achieved that the at least one main cutting a pulling cut executes and peeling acts on the senkbearbeitete workpiece. Compared with a pressing cut, which would be achieved with an opposite to the direction of rotation arcuate main cutting edge or a rectilinear main cutting edge, a pulling cut results in a higher smoothness.

The helix angle of the at least one main cutting edge measured in a side view when viewed radially from the outer peripheral cutting edge relative to the rotational axis can be in a range from 10 ° to 70 °, in particular from 15 ° to 55 °, preferably from 25 ° to 45 °, lie.

Furthermore, the at least one main cutting edge may be arranged along one in an end view through three points, i. the central cutting corner, the outer peripheral side cutting corner and the mid-cutting edge center point, arc defined, for a cutting head diameter (0) in the range of 4.3 mm to 31 mm has a radius in the range of 0.5 mm to 150 mm , in particular from 4 mm to 40 mm, preferably from 7 mm to 25 mm.

Initial test runs with twist angles and arc radii in the above ranges have led to good results in terms of smoothness during the countersinking process.

If the countersink has several main cutting edges, it is sufficient in principle if at least one of the several main cutting edges extends in an arcuate, in particular spiral, shape. Already thereby, the above-mentioned advantages can be achieved.

With a view to achieving a long service life and a smoother running, the countersink according to the invention preferably has a number of, in particular three, main cutting edges, all of which are arc-shaped, in particular spiral-shaped, running.

The plurality of major cutting edges may have equal or unequal arc radii and / or helix angles. Same arc radii and / or helix angles contribute to a simpler grinding of the cutting head of the countersink. Unequal arc radii and / or helix angles result in unequal cutting lengths with the result of unequal cutting forces and associated uneven stress on the main cutting edge, which has a positive effect on the smoothness of the countersink.

Regardless of whether the arc radii and / or helix angles are the same or different, the plurality of main cutting edges are preferably arranged around the axis of rotation such that at least their outer peripheral cutting corners are arranged with the same angular pitch. Alternatively, the outer peripheral side cutting corners of the main cutting edges may be arranged with unequal angular pitch.

The plurality of major cutting edges may also have the same or (defined) unequal cutting heights. At the same cutting heights, the main cutting edges lie on a common virtual tapered surface, which contributes to a simplification of the grinding work of the cutting head of the countersink. (Defined) Unequal cutting heights, on the other hand, can contribute to a further reduction of the ratchet inclination and thus to a smoother running of the countersink in the countersinking process due to uneven stress on the main cutting edges.

The countersink can, in addition to the at least one arcuate main cutting edge having at least one, formed in a conventional manner, rectilinear cutting edge. If the outer peripheral side cutting corners of the arcuate main cutting edges and the linear cutting edges are of the same radius relative to the rotational axis of the countersink, unequal cutting lengths result, resulting in unequal cutting forces and associated unequal stress on the main cutting edges and cutting edges, which has a positive effect on the smoothness of the countersink.

When the countersink has a plurality of arcuate main cutting edges and a plurality of rectilinear cutting edges, in particular an equal number of arcuate main cutting edges and rectilinear cutting edges, it is advantageous if the arcuate main cutting edges and the rectilinear cutting edges are arranged alternately around the axis of rotation of the countersink are. In this case, the outer peripheral side cutting corners of the arcuate main cutting edges and the rectilinear cutting edges can be arranged with the same angular pitch, ie symmetrically, about the axis of rotation of the countersink. As a result, the countersink is loaded symmetrically or evenly around the circumference.

Hereinafter, two embodiments of a countersink according to the invention will be described with the aid of the accompanying drawings.

First embodiment FIGS. 1 to 5 schematically show a first embodiment of a countersink 10 according to the invention.

The countersink 10 has, analogously to DIN 335: 2007-12, a clamping shank 12 and a cutting head 14 adjoining the clamping shank 12 along the axis of rotation 11 in the tool feed direction. The clamping shank 12 and the cutting head 14 are made of HSS steel.

As the figures show, the countersink 10 is executed clockwise and three-edged. The three provided on the cutting head 14 main cutting 16-1, 16- 2, 16-3 are arranged with a 120 ° pitch in the direction of rotation about the axis of rotation 11 around. FIG. 4 shows the 120 ° pitch angles γ1, γ2, γ3 between the main cutting edges 16-1 and 16-2, 16-2 and 16-3 and 16-3 and 16-1, respectively. Contrary to the direction of rotation, each main cutting edge 16-1, 16-2, 16-3 is followed by a main relief surface 17-1, 17-2, 17-3 onto which a flute 18-1, 18-2, 18-3 follows. As seen in the axial direction, each main cutting edge 16-1, 16-2, 16-3 on the outer circumferential cutting edge 16-1a, 16-2a, 16-3a goes into an outer peripheral side cutting edge 19-1 indicated in FIG. 19-2, 19-3, which is not of importance to the invention.

The three main cutting edges 16-1, 16-2, 16-3 lie without (defined) cutting height difference on a common virtual conical surface with the axis of rotation 1 1 as a cone axis. The opening or taper angle α (see Fig. 3) of the cutting head 14 is 90 ° in the first embodiment.

As shown in Figs. 1 to 3, each of the three major cutting edges 16-1, 16-2, 16-3 extends from its inner circumferential or central cutting corner (top) 16-1b, 16-2b, 16-3b to its outer circumferential cutting corner (End) 16-1 a, 16-2a, 16-3a on the virtual conical surface with a right-hand spiral arcuate, in particular spiral, about the axis of rotation 1 1.

In the first embodiment, the main blades 16-1, 16-2, 16-3 are formed uniformly. In the axial plan view or end view of FIG. 4 it can be seen that the main cutting edges 16 - 1, 16 - 2, 16 - 3 each extend along one through three Points, ie the central cutting corner 16-1b, 16-2b, 16-3b, the outer peripheral side cutting corner 16-1a, 16-2a, 16-3a and a (not shown in Fig. 4) lying at half the cutting edge center , defined arc passes. In the first embodiment, the radii of curvature of the three main cutting edges 16-1, 16-2, 16-3 are equal. In Fig. 4, the radii of curvature for the main cutting edge 16-1, 16-2, 16-3 are indicated by R. 4, the maximum cutting diameter of the cutting head 14 is indicated by "0" and can be from 4.3 mm to 31 mm according to DIN 335: 2007-12. 3 may range from 0.5 mm to 150 mm, in particular from 4 mm to 40 mm, preferably from 7 mm to 25 mm In the example shown in Fig. 4, the diameter 0 is, for example, 25 mm and is For example, the radius of curvature R of the main cutting edges 16-1, 16-2, 16-3 is 1 1 mm, and the three major cutting edges 16-1, 16-2, 16-3 have the same spiral or helix angles which in a side view at a radial viewing direction on an outer peripheral side cutting edge relative to the axis of rotation 11 measured twist angle "a" indicated. The helix angles of the three main cutting edges 16-1, 16-2, 16-3 are according to the invention in a range of 10 ° to 70 °, in particular from 15 ° to 55 °, preferably from 25 ° to 45 °. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the helix angle α is, for example, 45 °.

In the countersink 10 according to the invention, the rake angles of the three main cutting edges 16-1, 16-2, 16-3 each change from the central cutting corner 16-1b, 16-2b, 16-3b to the outer peripheral cutting edge 16a, 16b. 2a, 16-3a evenly from zero or a negative amount in the middle to a positive amount at the outer circumference. In FIG. 5, the positive rake angle measured on the outer peripheral side cutting corner of a main cutting edge is indicated by "β" which is, for example, 25 °.

With regard to all other, not mentioned dimensions, etc., the countersink 10 according to the invention can comply with the requirements of DIN 335: 2007-12.

1 to 4 show that the central cutting corners 16-1 b, 16-2b, 16-3b of the main cutting edges 16-1, 16-2, 16-3 in the axial direction at the same height and at an equal radial distance to Rotary axis 1 1 lie. Figs. 1 to 4 show a flattened tip 20 at the level of the central cutting corners 16-1 b, 16-2b, 16- 3b. Similarly, the outer peripheral side cutting corners 16-1a, 16-2a, 16-3a are at the same axial height and at a same radial distance from the axis of rotation 1 1.

Due to the arch shape, each major cutting edge 16-1, 16-2, 16-3 has a greater cutting length than a straight major cutting edge of a conventional countersink. The greater cutting length results in smoother running and greater stability in the countersinking process, because the loads acting on the main cutting edges 16-1, 16-2, 16-3 are distributed over larger cutting engagement lengths. In sum, there is less wear and a lower rat tendency.

Due to the twist in the direction of rotation, the main cutting edges 16-1, 16-2, 16-3 perform a pulling cut in the machined workpiece during the countersinking process and have a peeling effect on the machined workpiece, resulting in a very smooth running.

Second Embodiment

FIGS. 6 and 7 show a second embodiment of a countersink 1 10 according to the invention. The countersink 110 of the second embodiment differs from the countersink 10 of the first embodiment substantially only in that the radii of curvature R1, R2, R3 of the three main cutting edges 16 1, 1 16-2, 1 16-3 are unequal.

While in the countersink of the first embodiment, the main cutting edges 16-1, 16-2, 16-3 are uniform, in particular so have the same arc radii and cutting lengths, have the main cutting edges 6-1, 6- 2, 116-3 of the countersink. 1 10 of the second embodiment, unequal arc radii indicated by "R1", "R2" and "R3", respectively, in Fig. 6, where R1>R2> R2 In the example shown in Fig. 6, the radii of curvature R1, R2, R3 at 15 mm, 1 1 mm or 18 mm. Due to the uneven radius of curvature, the main cutting edges 1 16-1, 116-2, 1 16-3 necessarily also have unequal cutting lengths.

As in the first embodiment, also in the countersink 110 of the second embodiment, the three main cutting edges 1 16-1, 1 16-2, 116-3 are arranged around the axis of rotation so that their outer peripheral cutting edges 1 16- 1 a, 1 16- 2a, 1 16-3a are arranged with the same angular pitch of 120 ° about the axis of rotation 1 1 1 around. This arrangement requires unequal angular pitch of the central cutting corners 116-1b, 16-2b, 16-3b of the main cutting edges 16-1, 16-2, 16-3.

Due to the unequal arc radii and the resulting uneven cutting lengths, uneven cutting forces and unequal stresses on the main cutting edges occur during the countersinking process, which has a positive effect on the notch inclination of the countersink.

Third embodiment

8 shows a third embodiment of a countersink 1000 of the invention. The countersink 1000 of the third embodiment differs from the countersink 10 of the first embodiment and the countersink 1 10 of the second embodiment in that it next to the arcuate main cutting edges 1 1 16-1 , 11 16-2 also formed in a conventional manner, rectilinear cutting edges 1 1 16-3; 1 116-4.

In Fig. 8 are two arcuate main cutting edges 11 16-1, 11 16-2 with the same radii of curvature R and two straight cutting edges 1 116-3; 11 16-4 arranged alternately about the axis of rotation 11 1 1. The outer peripheral side cutting corners 1 16-1 a and 1 1 16-2a of the arcuate main cutting edges 1 1 16-1 and 1 1 16-2 and the outer peripheral side cutting corners 1 116-3a and 1 1 16-4a rectilinear cutting are doing with the same angular pitch of each 90 °, ie symmetrically arranged about the axis of rotation 111 1. Modifications of the embodiments

In the first to third embodiments, the clamping shaft and the cutting head are made of one piece of HSS steel. The main and minor cutting edges are ground in the cutting head. But that is not absolutely necessary. The main and minor cutting edges may alternatively be attached to cutters, e.g. Cutting inserts or cutting inserts, which are permanently fixed to the cutting head as a basic body, e.g. by soldering or gluing, or interchangeable, e.g. by screwing, are held.

In the first to third embodiments, the countersink is made clockwise. That is not necessary. The countersink can alternatively be designed to counterclockwise.

Furthermore, the countersink of the first and second embodiments may have only one main cutting edge, two main cutting edges or more than three main cutting edges instead of three main cutting edges. In a multi-bladed design, it can be sufficient in principle if at least one of the main cutting edges on the virtual conical surface arcuately, in particular spirally, runs.

Furthermore, in a multi-bladed design, the main cutting edges of the countersink can basically be made with equal pitch, e.g. analogous to the first and third embodiment, or unequal division, e.g. analogous to the second embodiment, be formed on the cutting head. Furthermore, the main cutting edges can be cut without a defined cutting height difference, e.g. as in the first to third embodiment, or be arranged with a defined cutting height difference of, for example, 0.05 mm between two successive main cutting in the direction of rotation.

The opening or taper angle of the cutting head may also differ from the first and second embodiments, 60 °, 75 °, 120 ° or any other amount. In the first to third embodiments, the main cutting edges each have a twist in the direction of rotation. Alternatively, the twisting direction can be oriented counter to the direction of rotation.

In the third embodiment, two arcuate main cutting edges and two rectilinear cutting edges are arranged alternately and with equal angular pitch about the axis of rotation of the countersink. But it can also only one main cutting edge and a cutting edge, or in each case more than two main cutting edges or

Cutting be arranged around the axis of rotation. The angle division of the main cutting edges or cutting edges about the axis of rotation can also be asymmetrical. Furthermore, the number of arcuate main cutting edges and the rectilinear cutting edges need not be equal and the arc radii of the arcuate main cutting edges need not be the same size.
